Ratings Change: Ohio’s 6th District

Ohio Republican Bill Johnson is an unassuming House Member who was elected in the GOP wave of 2010. His 53 percent re-election total has Democrats believing that a conservative Democrat would have a fighting chance against Johnson in the Republican-leaning 6th District.

While Jennifer Garrison’s profile as a moderate Democrat might be a good fit for the district, some of her stances on social issues have put her at odds with liberal Democrats across the state, and that could make fundraising more difficult for her.

Garrison (click here for her candidate interview video) is caught in a very tough political position. She must demonstrate a level of independence from President Barack Obama and the national Democratic Party in order to win a majority in the district while needing to raise money from traditional Democratic groups to communicate her message effectively.

Plenty of eyes will be on Garrison’s next fundraising report in mid-April. She has the opportunity to climb back into the conversation of competitive races but also risks falling further down the list of Democratic opportunities.

Those who preach collectivism claim that private property is a source of discontent because they believe it empowers some against others.

Johnson is a disaster for Ohioans. He’s rated Far Right and is in the pockets of Billionaires like the Koch Brothers. Johnson’s picture has “more jobs, more take-home pay”, but his votes in Congress have been the EXACT opposite. He’s against raising the minimum wage to a living wage. Right now, it is at a poverty level. Johnson votes for tax breaks for the rich while claiming he’s for the average Ohioan and American. SORRY JOHNSON, you can’t have it both ways. Johnson is also a war-hawk / friend of the MIC that Eisenhower so correctly warned about. So, bottom line, he’s anti-Middle-class, anti-worker, anti-Union, against women’s rights and is a poster boy for the Tea Party, which was created and funded by the Mega Billionaire Koch Brothers. 6TH District voters: VOTE OUT “Koch Bro” Johnson in November! I’m voting for a pro-Middle-class candidate, Jennifer Garrison.
